He's also much slower. Grant would have gone through the same enormous hole that Jackson did at the beginning of the game, the only difference is the play would have ended in +6.

Enormous? Grant doesn't make it through that hole, or at best is falling down about 6-8 yards with his legs getting touched.

He hits hard. He can also make cuts and break ankles. Last year he didn't have these abilities. The first half of the Eagles game, short a sample as it may have been, he was doing both of these again.
I like how Jackson played today, but I simply do not believe that he is better than Grant, I mean seriously lets not get too carried away after one game.

They are just different styles. Grant works great with the stretch plays but he runs with to much lean and gets tripped up easy and limits his cut angles.

Honestly, I go with the game plan. If coach runs it, then Ive got to take advantage of my opportunities. Were a pass-first, run-next team, and whenever he calls my number, Ive got to contribute.

I appreciate this quote. I do sincerely like that he is a team player, thats awesome. Idk why it is but I am particularly sensitive to people who show-boat. Great attitude to have, and I hope it's contagious.

AMAZING how people jump right back on the band-wagon of saying BJack is better than Grant after ONE game.

Just last week people were saying that we shouldn't even re-sign him after this season.

CAN SOME OF YOU MAKE UP YOUR MINDS, PLEASE!?!?

Ryan Grant is a top 10 NFL RB. Brandon Jackson is probably a top 30 NFL RB. Or, somewhere around there.

I think you are talking about different cut. Grant is great at the stretch see the hole 1 cut and go plays. He isn't shifty after that though. Jackson has more wiggle in his running. Mostly because Grant once that first cut is done, runs with lean that makes more cutting difficult but lays some power when making contact.

Everybody myself included talks about how slow Jackson is. After watching the replay of his 71 yarder, which just happens to be a longer run than Grant ever had. Is he really that slow?

On that run it took 60 yards for Landy and Hall to catch him. Aren't those two both pretty fast guys. It wasn't like Fat Pat Williams caught him. Hall was already moving in that general direction already. Really seemed like some decent speed minimum.

Mucky Tundra (22h) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (23h) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

Zero2Cool (20-Dec) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!

wpr (20-Dec) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him

beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : RB David Montgomery will undergo season-ending knee surgery.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Dan Campbell on onside kick with 12 minutes left: In hindsight, wish I didn’t do that

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : They have that whole 12th man thing so ...

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Of the times we've played there, I just can't recall hearing our fans.

wpr (16-Dec) : Well done jdlax. Well done.

wpr (16-Dec) : I think more likely to be Pack fans that live in the area.

wpr (16-Dec) : Pack fans represent. I pointed it out early in the game to my wife. Announcers said Packers travel well.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : That was crazy to hear go pack go in Seattle of all plays. That 12 man thing an all

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : jdlax, good man!

jdlax (16-Dec) : Mucky, there were too many of us there to credit any single one but for sure i was 60% responsible.
